An inverse finite element approach is employed for more capability to design the optimum blank shape from the desired final shape with small amount of expense and computation time For multi-stage sheet metal forming processes numerical analysis is expense difficult to carry out the to its complexities and convergence problem. It also requires lots of computation time. For the analysis of elliptic cup with large aspect ratio intermediate sliding constraint surfaces are difficult to describe. in this paper multi-stage finite element inverse analysis is applied to multi-stage elliptic cup drawing processes to calculate intermediate blank shapes and strain distributions in each stages. To describe intermediate sliding constraint surfaces an analytic scheme is introduced to deal with merged-arc type sliding surfaces.

The inverse heat conduction problems is the calculation of surface heat transfer coefficients by utilizing measured temperature. The numerical technique of finite element analysis and optimizition is introduced to calculate temperatures and heat transfer coefficients. The calculated heat transfer coefficients and temperature distribution are good agreement with the results of direct analysis. The inverse method has been applied to the control valve of nuclear power plant.

Design of a weld line in a tailor welded blank is indispensable for good manufacturing of stamped parts as assigned, since the intial weld line is distorted severely with forming. The initial weld line has to be determined such that desired weld line in a formed part can be obtained. The initial weld line was predicted by inverse finite element analysis from the desired weld line in a formed part. The inverse approach is applied to the cylindrical and square cup drawing with tailor welded blanks. The applications demonstrates that the approach is useful for design of weld line of tailor welded blank.

This study proposed a technique for inverse problem, linear approximation of contact position and loading in single and double meshing of transmission contact element using 2-dimension model considered near the tooth by root stress. Determination of root stress is carried out far the gear tooth by finite element method and boundary element method. Boundary element discretization near contact point is carefully performed to keep high computational accuracy. The predicted results of boundary element method are good accordance with that of finite element method.

The objective of this study is to evaluate heat transfer coefficient distribution during heat treatment by inverse analysis. As a first procedure, the inverse heat transfer formulation by using two dimensional finite element method has been developed. The formulation can handlematerial nonlinearity and allow arbitrary placement and number of sensors. The formulation was verified through application to simulated exact and inexact measurements.

The finite element model updating can be defined as the problem of finding the parameters of the finite element model which gives the closest response to the actual response of the structure by measurement. In the previous researches, optimization based methods have been developed to minimize the error of the response of the actual structure and the analytical model. In this study, we propose an inverse eigenvalue problem that can directly obtain the parameters of the finite element model from the target mode information. Deep Neural Networks are constructed to solve the inverse eigenvalue problem quickly and accurately. As an application example of the developed method, the dynamic finite element model update of a suspension bridge is presented in which the deep neural network simulating the inverse eigenvalue function is utilized. The analysis results show that the proposed method can find the finite element model parameters corresponding to the target modes with very high accuracy.

The quasi-static and dynamic responses of a linear viscoelastic circular beam on Winkler foundation are studied numerically by using the mixed finite element method in transformed Laplace-Carson space. This element VCR12 has 12 independent variables. The solution is obtained in transformed space and Schapery, Dubner, Durbin and Maximum Degree of Precision (MDOP) transform techniques are employed for numerical inversion. The performance of the method is presented by several quasi-static and dynamic example problems.

In this paper, a novel approach to estimate cohesive laws for the mode I fracture of the graphene is presented by combining molecular dynamic simulations and an inverse algorithm based on field projection method and finite element method. The determination of crack-tip cohesive laws of the graphene based on continuum mechanics is a non-trivial inverse problem of finding unknown tractions and separations from atomic simulations. The displacements of molecular dynamic simulations in a region far away from the crack tip are transferred to finite element nodes by using moving least square approximation. Inverse analyses for extracting unknown cohesive tractions and separation behind the crack tip can be carried out by using conservation nature of the interaction J- and M-integrals with numerical auxiliary fields which are generated by systematically imposing uniform surface tractions element-by-element along the crack surfaces in finite element models. The preset method can be a very successful approach to extract crack-tip cohesive laws from molecular dynamic simulations as a scale bridging method.

A major concern in deep excavation project in soft clay deposits is the potential for adjacent buildings to be damaged as a result of the associated excessive ground movements. In order to accurately determine the wall deflections using a numerical procedure such as the finite element method, it is critical to use the correct soil parameters such as the stiffness/strength properties. This can be carried out by performing an inverse analysis using the measured wall deflections. This paper firstly presents the results of extensive plane strain finite element analyses of braced diaphragm walls to examine the influence of various parameters such as the excavation geometry, soil properties and wall stiffness on the wall deflections. Based on these results, a multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS) model was developed for inverse parameter identification of the soil relative stiffness ratio. A second MARS model was also developed for inverse parameter estimation of the wall system stiffness, to enable designers to determine the appropriate wall size during the preliminary design phase. Soil relative stiffness ratios and system stiffness values derived via these two different MARS models were found to compare favourably with a number of field and published records.
